"That's right." Jiuyang Dao Chief had an unfathomable look, "The deaths of the fifty-five people in Shangnan Village are inextricably linked to the spirits, the river demon kills people because of the spirits, as long as the spirits are burned and returned to the river, the river demons will not be strange." ”

I didn't expect the Dao Elder to make such an arrangement, and said angrily: "Dao Chief, you said this method before, I thought you had a better way to solve this matter, I really didn't expect that you, like Fang Shenpo, want to burn the spirit!" ”

A villager said, "Dao Chief, is there no other way?" ”

Another humanitarian: "Dao Chief, Lingling is a life after all, this case, the police are investigating very closely, if Lingling is burned to death, who will be responsible?" ”

The third person said: "Dao Chief, you have to think clearly, we are killing people. ”

The villagers were gossiping and talking, and no one seemed to know in advance.

If I had known that I was going to burn Lingling, I would never have let Lingling get on this thief ship.

The head of Jiuyang Daoist asked everyone to be quiet, with a righteous and awe-inspiring look, and said: "I am responsible for anything, for the safety of the villagers, it is worth exchanging a life for the peace of the entire village, if the police want to arrest people, arrest me, it has nothing to do with other people." ”

"I'm not a river demon!" The spirit in the cabin walked out, gritted his teeth and shouted, "I'm not a demon, you are a demon, if you dare to touch me, I will let you all pay for your lives!" ”

At this time, the village chief said: "You guys, arrest Lingling!" ”

I looked at the village chief with a cold expression, it seems that he already knew about this!

The villagers next to him hesitated slightly, then grabbed Lingling, tied Lingling's hands with ropes, and the three of them piled firewood on a layer of steel plates, and a villager poured gasoline on the firewood.

"Let go of me, you let go of me!" Lingling struggled desperately, and a few guys controlled Lingling to death.

When the villagers on the surrounding boats saw this scene, their expressions were indifferent, no one cared about Lingling's life or death, and even some of them had a feeling of great happiness on their faces.

In desperation, I took out the dagger in my bag and yelled, "You let go of Lingling!" ”

I rushed over with a dagger.

As soon as I passed by the Jiuyang Dao Chief, the Dao Leader kicked me in the stomach and knocked me to the ground.

The village chief drank, "Arrest Ning Que!" ”

I was about to get up when three villagers rushed up and pinned me to the ground, snatched the dagger from my hand, and threw it aside.

The village chief seemed to be a different person, his face was expressionless, and he looked at me coldly, "Ning Que, don't act rashly, everything is subject to the arrangement of the Taoist chief." ”

I scolded, "You bastards, you can't burn the spirit, the spirit is not a river demon!" ”

"My dad has a very good relationship with Director Zhang, you burn the spirit, I will tell Director Zhang everything!"

I suddenly felt that something was wrong, since the Taoist priest was invited by Director Zhang, why did he do the thing of burning the soul?

Didn't the head of Jiuyang report to Director Zhang before doing things? Director Zhang agreed to burn the spirit? I don't think it's possible, the police would never do such a thing.

Is there something wrong with it?

"You don't have to die well, you don't have to die well!!" Lingling's face began to turn hideous, and his eyes were full of bloodshots, "Whoever of you hurts me, I want you to die tonight, I want you to die!" ”

The spirits struggled, and I yelled, but no one listened to us, and everyone wanted to burn them.

The villagers moved a table, covered it with red cloth, and built a simple altar with four white candles, incense burners, and offerings such as meat and fruit.

The Jiuyang Daoist began to put on the incense buttoned meat, then took out the peach wood sword, picked the talisman and lit it, and the gods chanted the incantation, waving the peach wood sword in his hand.

A few minutes later, the Jiuyang Daoist finished his practice and shouted, "Everyone is ready, pay tribute to the river demon!" ”

Several villagers carried Lingling and placed it on a pile of firewood, and the Jiuyang Daoist took a torch and approached Lingling step by step......

Jiuyang Dao Chang's face was indifferent, and he looked at Ling Ling, "You were born a demon, fate, I'm sorry, I wish you to be reincarnated in a good family in the next life." ”

"Phew!" Ling Ling took a sip, saliva sprayed on the face of the Jiuyang Daoist, and scolded, "You demon Dao, you are the demon, even if I die, I will not let you go as a ghost!" ”

Jiuyang Daoist smiled coldly, "Don't forget that I am a Taoist priest, and catching ghosts is my profession, don't worry, I will burn your soul!" ”

The flames on the torches swayed gently in the river breeze and drifted towards the firewood.

"Don't!!" I yelled, "I beg you, don't, don't burn the souls!" ”

I yelled weakly, my face full of tears, these bastards, inhumane, why are they so cruel!

"Brother Ning Que, see you in the next life......" Ling Ling shouted softly at me, smiled lightly, and then closed his eyes helplessly.

I'm desperate," you guys...... Even if you want to kill Lingling, you give her a good time, solve it with a knife, don't burn her alive......"

No one paid attention to me, and when I saw that the Jiuyang Daoist was about to ignite the firewood, suddenly, a wave of waves swept over the calm water, impartially, and the waves hit the Jiuyang Daoist's body, and the torch was extinguished.

Everyone's hearts tightened, the river was calm tonight, there was no wind and waves, how could they suddenly rush out of the waves? Although there were not many waves, they rushed out more than two meters high, extinguished the torch, and Jiuyang Dao was covered with water and turned into a soup chicken.

The sudden scene stunned everyone.

Everyone lagged behind for a moment, the light of the flashlight and the ship's lights all shone in the direction where the waves were flying, and the water over there was calm.

I let out a long breath, the water wave just now, is it really the river demon who saved the spirit?

"Where is the monster, it still hasn't appeared!" Jiuyang Daoist roared, and a yellow talisman appeared in his hand, holding a peachwood sword in his left hand and his right hand, staring at the water with his eyes, with a posture of wanting to move.

But there were still no waves on the surface of the water, nothing abnormal.

After a while, Jiuyang Dao Chang frowned and muttered, "It's really strange, there is no demonic energy, is it a demon or not?" ”

The village chief not far away took two steps forward and said tremblingly, "Dao Chief, in the end...... What's going on? ”

The head of Jiuyang Dao glanced at the village chief, "Then you can jump into the water and go to the river to have a look, and you will know what is going on." ”

The village chief was stunned, "This ......"

Jiuyang Taoist said, "I don't want to ask too much about things, there must be demons when things go wrong, everyone is on guard, be careful!" ”

"Haha......" Ling Ling suddenly laughed, laughing a little crazy, "Demon Dao, God won't let me die, you can't kill me today, as long as I don't die today, I will definitely kill you!" ”

Jiuyang Dao Chief glared at Ling Ling, "Little girl, no one can save you today!" ”

This time, the Jiuyang Daoist took a lighter in his hand, and the flames flew out and shot towards Chai He.

"You let me go, let go of the spirit! There are monsters in the river, and they are demons harming people, not spirits! I yelled, but no one paid any attention to me, and the three villagers became more energetic and pressed me to death.

"Don't ......"

Just as Chai He was pointing, suddenly, the water surface tumbled, and a white python seven or eight meters long flew out of the water, sweeping waves and throwing it in the direction of Jiuyang Daochang!

The white python slammed into the body of the Jiuyang Daoist, and the Jiuyang Daoist was knocked to the ground.

"What's that?"

"River Demon!!"

"River Demon, Run!!"

The villagers all saw the white python and panicked, and then the giant python in the water was another dragon swinging its tail, whipping the three villagers away and falling into the water.

The python dived into the water and disappeared.

Jiuyang Daoist got up from the boat and yelled, "Don't run, everyone take your weapons and go all out to deal with the monsters!" ”

However, no one listened to the words of the Jiuyang Daoist, and the villagers began to flee, and as soon as the two fishing boats started, they collided violently, and the scene was suddenly chaotic, and more than a dozen people fell into the water one after another.

The villagers who controlled me had already let me go, and I immediately rushed to Lingling, taking advantage of the chaos, and used a dagger to cut the ropes on Lingling's hands and feet.

Jiuyang Dao elder scolded, "What kind of bullshit monster is this, there is no demonic spirit!" ”

"You people are cowardly as rats!"

The chief of Jiuyang grabbed the gasoline drum and poured the gasoline into the river.

I grabbed the spirit and ran to the cabin.

I heard the Jiuyang Daoist behind me yelling, "Made, where's the lighter!" ”

Just as he was about to rush into the cabin, Ling Ling suddenly screamed, "Brother Ning Que, be careful!" ”

First, a wave of water poured directly over my head, and then, as if something had hit me on the back, my whole body flew up and fell into the river beside me......
